Gman I'm confused. Are you referring to the video link Boingo provided? If so, that is ancient Nemea -- not Agora and further up I posted an aerial photo which to me could easily match the backgrounds in the olympic events.

If not, nevermind -- it's been a long long day. :groan:

lol, I got it wrong. 10:36AM. Can't be that early. Chateau, SOS  :jam:

I was referring to the video of the CBS Promo which has been running ad nausium.  It seems from the look of the sky (blue patches) and weather reports that the rain starts later, that the Detour Olympic Games come before the Roadblock in Corinth.  By staging the Detour in Athens, it gives them more reason to run around the city instead of just arriving, cabbing to the Tower of the Winds, and then back to the bus station and out of town.  If the Detour takes place first in Ancient Nemea, the teams would have to travel by bus through Corinth, and then back to Corinth, then back through Nemea to Nafplio. Logically, it seems to me that the Detour should take place in Athens first, then have the Roadblock in Corinth, then drive to the pit stop in Nafplio.

I'm trying Gman but I'm not good at that google earth thingy ( told you i can't read maps )
 above makes the most sense to me Gman :clap:
whats left ?
I'm going to take a wild guess and say E&J come in first NEL or not Fast Forward or not .
Who's last ? Who gets mugged ? Who gets Eliminated ?
Doesn't a team normally get eliminated before heading to a new continent ?
The plugs for the Early show are hard to ignore , but then again we were fooled when they threw us for a loop TBC Moscow to Germany  :groan:
What do you all think ? And fwiw my last place team is RaYolanda with MoJo coming in 5th ..I think that both teams mess up reading the clue incorrectly and thats why Mo is crying in the bus/train/whatever .
E&J team #1
BJ & Tyler #2
Frankenberries #3
Dr Evil #4
MoJo #5
Rayolanda dead last .

Slowhatch:
If it is Nemea, there's a tie-in to the episode title, but I'm sure it's coincidental.
